Reflections & Intentions
To be read in the style of Bridgerton-ish circa March 2022’s post Dear Dreamers… It is the 31st of December, Year 2022. I can’t quite believe it, can you? Today is the last day of Year 2022…which means, dear readers, it is time for reflections… This past year was a whirlwind for Lady Ciggy indeed. Earlier this year I recounted about my move to a new city at the top of the year in the post New Year, New City and though I hadn’t clearly spelled out all goals or resolutions for the year the main focus was to move forward towards my dreams and living out God’s will for…

Bridgerton’s Influence
In honor of the latest season of one of my favorite shows, this post should be read in the style of Bridgerton… Dearest Dreamers, It’s been quite some time since I’ve caught up with you and all I can say is that this year seems to be moving quite swiftly. I would prefer to catch up with you on a more regular basis but alas that was not in the cards these past few months. Last we met, I shared that Lady Ciggy has moved to Atlanta, GA in an effort to go after everything that God has in store for her. I will say that Lady Ciggy is continuing…

Decisions: How to Choose & Its Impact
Hi there dreamers, Believe it or not I started this post at the beginning of the month and I am just now getting to finish it. It was going to start with me highlighting this bible study I read that seemed relevant to my topic at hand: “A few years ago I did this women’s bible study entitled “The Best Yes” by Lysa Terkeurst. It was a great study and I remember enjoying it at the time.” and then I was going to discuss the big choice or decision I had to make at the time: “However this month I had to make a choice a decision if you will…

Happy September!
Hi there fellow dreamers! It has been a moment since I caught up with y’all…actually over a month. This past month has been quite restful, productive and transformative. For those that follow you may know that I am also “Rena in Reslife.” Well nearly 4 months ago I transitioned my career and though I am still “Rena in Reslife” it is a completely different setting. In my previous role August would be one of my busiest seasons where as this past August I actually started the month off with a vacation! It was great and surreal. I took a much needed girls trip on a cruise to the Bahamas! It…

Living Now
Hey Y’all! It’s been a minute since I wrote to you and let me just say that time is flying by…I can’t believe it is already July! Happy New month and early 4th of July to everyone! These past couple of months I have been experiencing a lot of newness in my life and transitions. In all of this I am learning to enjoy the life I have while still going after the one I dream of. You might ask what does that even mean? For me, it is not just living in the future for my dreams, but actually living in the present right now. In all honesty, I have…

Almost Mid-Year Reflection
This has been a beyond whirlwind couple of months!! It was filled with transitions, changes, ups, and downs. There were celebrations of new things and dreams being achieved but also loss and the end of others. This past month I had a major switch in my career…meaning I got a new job and simultaneously left another one. It was and still is a crazy transition. After 12 years of living on a college campus, #RenainReslife, I am now living in an apartment! It’s gorgeous and surreal and I still can’t quite believe it. My family is growing and staying connected more which I love as I’m physically away from them…

New Phase of the Journey
Hi fellow journeyers! It has been a minute since I wrote here. I have been preparing and praying for my next phase and well God is ushering me into it right now. This month is my birthday month and well I have come into the next decade which is already a major new phase all on its own. Basically within the same week, my “off campus” apartment has been solidified and I got a job offer outside of the college campus that starts next week! This came earlier than I anticipated but I am so grateful for what God is about to do. It is His will not mine that is…

Recap of the Past 3 Years
Hello Reslife friends and readers, Just a quick recap or update as I haven’t published a post in 3 years to this site! July 2015 – June 2016 This was my last year at NAU as an RHD…I felt a very strong spiritual pull and calling to go to Dallas, TX and put in my resignation with NAU around November/December 2015 for the end of the 15-16 Academic year with no job or home in site…the craziest thing I’ve ever done! A lot of things happened in the midst of this time: bonds with peers, new side hustles and business ventures, resparks of old working teams, a friend’s wedding, roller…
